We weep and rage when the bitter comes for the sweet. But we don’t understand when the sweet comes from the bitter.
If Tabby’s Place could wrest control of the universe, our first decree would be the dismantling of feline leukemia virus (FeLV). FeLV is no friend of ours. It is feared for a reason. Yet without FeLV, we would never have met some of our best friends. Quinn’s Corner is our compromise with the condition we […]
Stepping inside a wardrobe is an action generally reserved for only the smallest among humans (Quite a squeeze!). For a house cat, a wardrobe can be an entire fantasy land in the shape of an armoire.
